Drove of Cows Tobogganins.


A rare and amusing incident occurred on
Saturday last. The Messrs. Everhart own
a large farm on the road leading from New
port to New Bloomfield. Perry county, and
short distance. from the latter place.
They keep large number of cattle and on
the day in question the bovines were roam
ing about in one of the fields in which there
are number of high hills, and these latter
were covered with ice which rendered them
as slippery as glass. Along the top of
one of these hills the cattle were NOV
ing along slowly when one of the
cows slipped and fell. but toboggan-like
never stopped until she landed at the bot
TOM. Then another and another followed
suit until five, or six had performed a similar
feat. 1t remained for the last of the COWS
to perform the browning feat. She sat
down OH her hind legs and erect on her
fore feet and started down the incline. All
went well until near the bottom Of the hill.
when her front feet caught in the ice, caus-
ing her to perform an acrobatic feat which
would make A gymnast turn green with
envy. The cattle seemed to enjoy the i'm
promptu slide and when they brought up at
the base of the hill would gngerly get on
to their feet and move off as though it was

Our Daily Bread.

Heavy and sour bread and biscuit has a
vast influence through the digestive organs
upon the measure of health we enioy.
How important to our present happiness
and future usefulness the blessing of good
health and sound constitution are, we can
only realize when we have lost them, and
when it is too late to repair them. Not
withstanding these facts, thousands of per-
sons daily jeOpardize not only their health,
but their lives. and the healths and lives of
others, by using articles in the preparation
OF their food the purity and heaitIifuiness of
which they know nothing. Perhaps a few
cents may have been saved, or it may have
been more convenient to obtain the articles
used, and the hUusekeeper takes the re-
sponslbilty and possibly will never know
the mischief that has been wrought.
Paterfalnilias may have spells of head
ache, the children may have lost their appe-
titles, or look pale; if so, the true cause is
rarely suspected. The weather, the lack Of
outdoor air, OF some other cause, is given,
and the unwhOlesonle. poisonous system of
adnlterated food goes on. Next to the
flour. which should be- made of good,
sound wheat and not ground too fine, the
yeast or baking powder. which furnish the
nSllg properties, is of the greatest i'm
mftance, and OF the TWO we prefer baking
powder. and always use the Royal, as we
thereby retain the original properties of
the Wheat, no fermentation taking place.
The action of the Royal Baking Powder
upon the dough is simply to swell it and
form little cells through every part These
cells are filled with carbonic acid gas,
which passes off during the process of bak-
ing.
The Royal is made from pure grape acid,
and it is the action of this acid upon highly
carbonized bicarbonate of soda that gener-
ates the gas alluded to; and these ingredi-
ents ale so pure and so perfectly fitted,
tested and adapted to each other, that the
action is mild and permanent. and is con-
tinued during the whole time of baking,
and no residue of poisonous ingredients re-
mains to undermine the health, no heavy
biscuits, no sour bread. but if directions
are followed. every article will be found
sweet and wholesome.

Trotting at Faribault.

III tuC EullOI VI tuO blODC.
Stess of weather and pressure of
business have compelled me to defer the
report of friendly meeting on the ice be-
tween Mortified and Faribault ON Wednes-
day, 10th inst. Our horsemen rendered a
return invitation to those of Mortified and
headed by P. Devery and Nelly d,
the four-year-old Taylor mare that carried
off tue ''blue ribbon" at the last state fair.
went out and met the Mortified gentlemen
on Tuesday evening" forming very pretty
procession of about twenty fine looking
horses as they entered the city from the
north. The smooth coats and nicely drawn
TANKS of the horses, and the horseman-
like appearance of the drivers
brought us back to the days
Ethen Allen. with McMann. Tallman and
day, was unusually pleasant, and every one
turned out. A track about half mile long
was scraped on the Cannon, inside the city
limits. Everything went off smoothly.
There were five well contested races.
Messrs. NJ. Rankin. of Northtield and o. s.
Remmey, of Faribault, were judges. and
NJ. B. Scott of Faribault, starter. Nelly
ID, for green four-year-old, showed re-
markedly well, being a close second to Rod
ney, of Mortified, who is a horse of. rapid
action and well handled. There was no
time taken. but the pair
MUST HAVE GONE BELOW $40. -
In the Gentleman's roadsters l timed
Gen. Sill the fourth heat and he trotted at
the rate of $40. This young stallion, by
Volunteer Chief, dam Lady Sill, by Harris
Hambletonian. second dam by imported
Trustee, has a very firm, open way of
going. Who knows but he may yet reach
his successful competitor, Lord Nelson, to
whom he was second at The last state fair?
The Volunteers do not drop from their
dams fully tiedged for the track. But they
keep coming" and when others have
called halt, have shot off their gun and;
retired, the Volunteers are just beginning to
bloom and show what they are made of.
Posts Taylor, by Florida, by Rysdick's
Penn. whose pedigree 1 did not learn. gave
very fine exhibition for stations out of
training. 1t seems to me they
must have trotted very close
to go" Fred Newells Ben
Butler, Roach's Rosewood by Blackwood
Jr. and Blackman's Larry did some very
fine work in the $50 race. Hunters Royal
George, for horse full of flesh, showed
that the pluck that captured the $40 race
at Rochester in 1883 and record of 2:36, is
still as staunch and game as ever. George
looks well and may remind the public that
heis still on earth before the fall closes.
The races were frst-class and showed
that Mortified and Faribault are well up
among the horsemen of the state. II anv
of your st. Paul or Minneapolis readers
should want good horse or team, Rice
county can supply him with as well-bred
Hambletonians, Patchens, Morrels, etc., as
any to be found anywhere.

A singular scene was witnessed yesterday
afternoon. Feb. 10. in the city. Mr.. Bridg-
man, salesman in the poultry market,
West Smithfield, had received four wild
foxes in a wooden case from the country.
Between and 2 O'clock the animals were
seen rushing up and down the avenues of
the market. A cry was raised, and dozens
of statesmen and porters gave chase, and
after great difficulty three Of the animals
were captured. 'sf.l
The fourth made its way into the street,
but only to be driven back by the large
crowd who had taken up the chase. After
being hunted about the market for upward
OF half an hour, the animal was at last
driven into corner, and bull-terrer be-
longing to one of the market statesmen
bounced upon him and killed him. 1t was
found that the foxes had made their escape
by gnawing hole in the box in which they
were confined ...-. .-.. ....
